Question

Find the x-intercepts for the parabola defined by this equation

Answer 1

The coordinates are (5 ,0) and (1 ,0)

Answer is given below with explanations.

Explanation:

We want ti express the intercepts as two ordered pairs (y = 0)

Then the coordinates are (5 ,0) and (1 ,0)

HAVE A NICE DAY!

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

Answer 2

Your x-intercepts are (1, 0) and (5, 0)

Explanation:

Factor out the expression:

`y =x^(2) -6x +5` factors out to
`y = (x-1) * (x-5)`

Because this factored out form is now in intercept form, we can solve that the two intercepts are (1, 0) and (5, 0).
